Finding People to Follow
Because it's such a big part of the Twitter experience, figuring out who to follow (and how to find them) can be overwhelming at first. Luckily, Twitter gives you several different ways to connect to the people you know, the information you want to know, and more. It's all about following and receiving updates from the accounts that interest you; therefore, everyone's Twitter stream will be different.
The #Discover tab in the top navigation bar is the best place to find new people to follow, no matter what your interests. Select the #Discover tab. Several options will appear in the left navigation pane, which you can use to find people to follow.
Who to Follow:
Find suggestions based on the accounts you already follow (if you added any during the sign up process). In this example, @AliaJones' suggestions reflect the unique contents of her Twitter stream: accounts related to fashion, local businesses, travel and activities.
Find Friends: Find people you know by searching your social or professional contacts. Just select any service you use, and sign in when prompted in order to give Twitter access to your personal connections. In this example, @AliaJones is about to search her Gmail contacts for friends and family who use Twitter, too.
Browse Categories: Find accounts based on what interests you. Pick a topic—any topic! Browsing is a good way to discover some of Twitter's most popular, prolific users.
Find Users By Name: Find anyone by entering their name or username. You can even enter brand-names like CNN, Google, or Barnes & Noble. However, if the individual you're looking for has a common name, or chooses not to list their name publicly, you may have trouble finding them this way.
Following and Unfollowing
To follow or unfollow someone, just click the 
or 
button that appears next to the person's name, or on their profile page. Easy to use and practically everywhere you look, this toggle button lets you decide who appears in your Twitter stream, and—if you change your mind—who doesn't.
